Ugly fonts in Opera

After updating "opera" package from 42.0.2393.94-1 to 42.0.2393.137-1 (still the same issue with 42.0.2393.517-1) fonts became ugly.

Screenshots:

• before update [1]

• after update [2]

Fonts became bolder, blurrier and wider. It seems Opera selects other fonts or other settings for rendering now.

Everything else works okay, only Opera is affected.

Environment:

Up-to-date Arch, KDE5. In KDE5 System Settings: enabled antialiasing, enabled full hinting, set DPI to 118. Playing with DPI in KDE System Settings and Opera cmdline does not change blurriness, only font size.

I've filed bugreport for this [3], but in case someone has an idea how to workaround this, please let me know.

Thanks.
